a team of computer specialists in the basement of the building all specializing in the development of mobile applications this morning he's focused on improving a new project. so what we're trying to do is we're trying to add new features so we've already got the new set up in the way we want to make it go i think you could use it with your is it conceivable find an feed which is possible can you give an estimate of when we take to build this i would. bottle part because designed for partying urban youth. is stable tonight six somebody wants to call out to your friends and they want to have a table read it with cells get a set of racing you want to they intend to spend money they settle as you book a table with a click a button. to rapidly grow his revenue ever and also buys ideas from others

he's bought shares in several dozens of startups benefiting from their profits and watching his money grow. my ninety thousand dollars that i invested is what now with two million in that company so that's how i look at it and that's that's a twenty it's a ton of stuff getting like. he inherited his knack for business from his father a fashion industry entrepreneur. he provided evan with an initial investment to start him off this workshop produces clothing for american ready to wear brands. though he was skeptical at first evan's father is now amazed by his son's achievements that they're going to get about that at that facility that is the limit kids you know he would go no where to go but he on his own kid knows that he has a baby like. while his father is delighted by his accent as his son spending habits

are a different matter religion and tradition are important to this family one hundred per cent but it doesn't get told about it. brought it by putting the other. day to day one having that much that they're good for you part of the bastard or the today where you don't ever get to find that didn't work it is that you got it yet still pretty desperate for a bit of it was not a good addition to the other day you know it you know it was good it's like the. traditions will have to wait seven is organizing his trips to europe in the united states where he plans to indulge in a glamorous lifestyle. and yes. the indian nouveau riche take their cue from the dazzling splendor once reserved for the country's feudal princes the maharajah's wealth was measured by the splendor of their palaces. today the sentence of the raj

put dynasty still own vast estates in raw just on. one of the most beautiful palaces belongs to the i.o.c. is our family cousins of the. poor the aussies ours have ruled over these lands for three centuries now they're seeking new ways to fund their princely lifestyle. but about the princes in the palace today so we're raising the flag. which say they're basically. just poking at the breakfast. thirty two year old abi manu is the titular prince and head of the family his day begins with silverware and waiters in uniform today he's breakfasting at the foot of his bed with his younger brother. if i go down and have breakfast and then when

he's coming to meet you i saw what was happening and that i feel we have first me should be absolutely. only people you want to be with so that then you can plan your day what to do and when to do it how to do it. news father transformed the palace into a hotel fifteen years ago and trusting its management to his oldest son. you studied management and some of the country's biggest talents hotels he's very demanding. i. usually change my rose. or stay in a different room every time i come i believe and. a large round is used to it when people come to. feel they should live those two days of their life how i live. so that's even if you see the palace every room is

absolutely different and showcases my life and my style and way and passion for whatever i do. the palace hotel offers a vacation fit for a maharajah but maintaining the seventeenth century palace costs a fortune especially since its owner wants only the best. this is the main bit about all of the palace and this is where people who come and meet my grandfather and you see all of them there in paintings. reviews in about fourteen thousand pieces of gold leaf. and i ran away to school back to his glory and it took me about a year to finish this job. the gold leaf alone costs tens of thousands of euros to pay these vast bills and to set his palace apart from those run his hotels

by other aristocratic families i mean manu had a novel idea. once a year he hosts an electronic music festival at his palace this morning several hundred people are at work the concerts begin in less than twenty four hours in different parts of the palace because the. rich magic is going to happen. where you live and. i. don't. think you will get in here and i thought the idea came during drinks with a friend and mick jagger. we were having a drink together bob you mean he said that you know his father. just recently gifted both the sons the mean values about caesar and so on. say say oh you should do a festival there. three thousand music fans will be descending on the palace for the

festival most of them young hipsters from the capital tickets cost more than one hundred euros by a local stand. the festival's reputation extends beyond india's borders for this third edition some forty deejays answered the prince's call sound of arrived from all over the world these two experimental musicians are from luxembourg. the festival is just getting started we come across some french people in the crowd dazzled by abbey monuments hospitality. if you did you know the prince before. you know not at all that's the prince i'm thrilled so he owns the space it's magical it's a base the decoration and then there's the desert all around it's magnificent. the

feel. the prince's aim is to get people talking about as these are today is go on has been achieved music gives me and i base the way it's being about opera caesar's getting proper had obviously comes along but the villages worked it's too nice to get off. the musically inclined prince has another project in the works he wants to start a festival of traditional music in another of his family's palaces. in the early twentieth century india's princes were among the wealthiest people in the world

today some of their descendants affluence has been eclipsed by the self-made fortunes of individuals who started with nothing. in this village a ten hour drive from mumbai most people live from the land trapped in endemic poverty. but it's the starting point of a real life rags to riches story. carbone us auto driver was born here today she's the c.e.o. of a multi-million dollar metal engineering company her father was a police officer and her family owned no land this is the home. made us the money is this is a house that was born in. the. us you got could you see your good we kept it as it is use me i want to be able to remember where i came from and to remind me of my progress from birth to today my mother.

returned to the village may draw a crowd but has a low caste and valid compound i saw you grew up here facing property discrimination and. you know. this gas if you see was the dividing line of the village you those who lived on that side were people from superior castes. and on this side with the lower caste the untouchables. in india donitz or at the bottom of the caste system known as untouchables and considered impure their i shunned community often forced to earn their living with unpleasant and dangerous work and people said my grandfather used to go and work for people of higher castes and when we were little we would follow him. but we never entered the homes of these people we were left outside in a well defined area right in the hood we were forbidden from touching their food

and when we were thirsty they gave us glasses that only we used to. get. regularly returns to or village to organized charity events this morning she was inaugurating a temporary medical facility that offers free i checkups and classes. this up. how will you use my right eyes week these classes should help. this is that good. republic of us in the british media they have to do it it's a two hour walk to reach the nearest hospital so villagers are grateful for such medical assistance. and a coffee good to be seen in public tito sato i know very well the problems that these people face. soon as i have free time i do what i consider a deity but i try to help them to help my community the good my examinations health

checks and blood tests content i was provided a range of services for the villagers. lunches served in a tent put up for the occasion there's a festival there in the village whenever a crowd by now returns home she how absurd the meals herself. so rogers story is one of a young girl who beat the odds married off at the age of twelve she moved to a slum where she was abused by her husband and his family her father rescued her but when she returned to her village she was ostracized by the stigma of divorce. we know people couldn't understand that i was back still now they find it hard to understand that it woman is separated from her husband. they've been remiss at the time they shunned me that was when i tried to commit suicide by swallowing poison. just like this one goes to that i changed i was determined to prove that i was

worth something it was the beginning of my fight the beginning of my journey. back . and said i am now my dad is i am i now have yes. i think about it. at the age of sixteen carbonara. returned to mumbai to try to earn a living with the skills she learned as a seamstress she found a job in a garment factory and worked as a tailor with a government loan she opened her own business and then began investing in real estate she bought a piece of land in the north of the city which she resold at a premium price taking advantage of soaring property prices. will hog that was when i invested everything i had me a woman and i touchable as well it was historic because my whole life the rest of

society has treated people from my cust like slaves. of course i had to fight but i'm happy because i've kind of managed to make history hasegawa by. the. carpenters courage and determination help drover come prejudice and exclusion but she's never forgotten where she came from. even as a successful real estate entrepreneur and the head of a profitable company comprende prefers modesty to an ostentatious show of wealth she pursues her business interests from this unassuming office in downtown mumbai. local you know we could well be for now the idea is to develop a hotel with one hundred five rooms but it won't be five stones the rooms are too small for it to be a lecture it's palace in order to start work we need to put four point five million euros on the table and here is a look at the look at. catherine our works with her daughter seema

a graduate of a london university the thirty year old is following in her mother's footsteps who can give you a very little of the outside will be exposed don't you are they going to be part of business there goes well in addition to a business center we want to launch a start up café people will be able to share ideas while having a child or a coffee if you just leave it up. sima saroj is developing this building in central mumbai part of her mother's real estate empire the property is worth the equivalent of one hundred twenty million euros. i think you have a plus point and i'll believe that this is it opens. the station that we have to the other own so i think it's amazing i think people love the city you know and you know enjoy the evenings simos career path was smoothed by her mother's success but

she appreciates the sacrifices her mother had to make to get where she is today. i think you've never heard me and my brother say that we want what they should be seeing. what is she going through feel of this one does the happy happy that we don't. want all she has released to achieve this today then though people like you all men take the view from our interview became good on that oh no different than before school book which was. despite the multi-million dollar projects that they manage family has not locked itself away in an ivory tower rather than a grand apartment in an upmarket neighborhood the family lives in this building in a northern by suburb. so rogers humble origins make her an exception among the indian nouveau riche. and her fortune can't match the assets of the country's high flying billionaires who love nothing more than

a bit of fun in the sun. white sandy beaches lined with coconut trees go up on india's west coast is a popular weekend playground for big city billionaires. but beautiful though they may be the beaches are too crowded for the likes of quote them saying honey i feel very good at myself. for a. little bit what. good would have a lot i got. at the helm of a leading clothing brand said on the units one of india's best known billionaires page fifty three of the textile cancun has an estimated net worth over one point five billion dollars. on weekends he heads out on his fifty meter yacht the. three story floating collars spilled entirely on a precious wood its crew is ready to set sail at any time anywhere from the indian

friends. by the end of the morning the group's fifty somethings are reliving their adolescence it's only the size and style of the toys that have changed. the law is the playground of india's billionaires because it's an easy distance from india's financial capital mumbai the twenty two million resident mega city ranks fourth on the world's list of cities with the most billionaires. their penchant for high rise construction has altered the city's skyline. some towers have an estimated worth of more than a billion euros. this thirty six storey development was designed as a residence was saying on your family the lower floors are dedicated to the family's famous textile brand raymond raymond group claims to be the world's biggest producer of high quality worsted wool suits it boasts sixty percent of

a salute and then the stitching set for raymond is a brand you know it really says from. the three hundred thousand. across the range everything up on the backs of the most everybody reza remember when run. in his stores the boss wears a suit and tie but outside of work he prefers sportswear because a day in the life of what thomason anya is a sprint from start to finish. to avoid mumbai's notorious traffic he takes a helicopter. to. the company's headquarters are located north of mumbai an american style campus for fifteen hundred employees complete with royal palm trees and impeccable lawns.

the mutilated them you're right. it's no tradition and it's you know. since they acquired an old wool factory here the sing on new years have reigned supreme so when the boss arrives to review a new collection tension rises a notch. the good of this position towards the indie is very difficult because he's the boss that he's on a little booking for new developments and here's what the. brilliant to stop the five thirty looking at the five b.c. with a bigger to do with the five years old when it does or two hundred orders from waco not out of the question of the question. he's very hard to pin the boss arrives his team has thirty minutes to win him over. article forty one. of the people you want to take it and you will chip in for a pretty. good that's
